find the missing number in 25, 38, _, 64, -27, 90 a) -1 b) 51 c) 39 d) -32
Answers
Correct sequence be :
25, 38, __, 64, 77, 90
So, we need to find a number for the blank place which satisfies the sequence
1st term = 25 & 2nd term = 38
Difference = 2nd term - 1st term
= 38 - 25 = 13
4th term = 64, 5th term = 77 & 6th term = 90
Difference = 5th term - 4th term
= 77 - 64 = 13
Difference = 6th term - 5th term
= 90 - 77 = 13
Thus we see that the difference between a term and its previous term is 13
So, the number to be put in blank place
= 38 + 13 = 51
∴ option (b) is correct
Note :
The given sequence is in Arithmetic Progression whose 1st term is 25, last term is 90 and the common difference is 13

Answer:
answer is -1
Step-by-step explanation:
given sequence: 25 , 38, x , 64, -27, 90
as we have both positive and negative nos in the sequence,
the sequence logic contains both addition and subtraction.
logic:
seq: 25 38 x 64 -27 90
diff: +13 leave this leave this -91 +117
logic: 13 x(+1) 13 x (-7) 13 x (+9)
we observe that it is 13 multipled by odd nos with alternate + and -
so the term next to 38 would be = 38+(13 x (-3)) = 38-39 = -1
